Just completed JS-2

Post by Yellowshaker »

ElMod ECO, Metal tracks, custom smoker unit, and Henntec Idler. It runs great and I am thrilled with this thing. Great detail on it.

Looks like it has seen some action :thumbup: The trick with weathering is to make the wear and tear look natural. Here you've done just that, and the result is an authentically aged, and combat proven
tank. :thumbup:

Just what a Russian tank should look like, filthy, battered and used. Great job. :thumbup:

Amazingly weathered, Joe. You've got the magic touch with weathering, it looks just like the real deal but scaled down; you've captured everything down to the finest detail. It's a beautiful model, and a shining example of your skills and talents.

I'm curious as to what products you've used for the dust, mud and stains if you don't mind sharing your secrets.

You guys are too kind. The paint is Ammo of Mig, soviet modulation set. The dust and effects are also Ammo products. I use a mix of different pigments ranging from sand, to Russian earth, to dark earth and rubble, etc to get the final look. The trick with mud and dust is to apply the lightest colors first and work toward darker..I have someone interested in this ting, so it may be gone soon.
